Consolidate servers, increase utilization, eliminate siloing, and improve ROI. Server growth is a costly issue for organizations that rely on Terminal Services. To avoid application conflicts, applications must undergo significant testing to determine which applications will collide and, therefore, must be separated and run on different Terminal Server silos - a time-consuming and costly process. Running multiple separate terminal servers for each application routinely results in servers being underutilized because each one is locked into a specific configuration, capable of serving only a limited set of non-conflicting applications, typically using just 25 percent of capacity. Often, 20 servers are required to support 1,000 users. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) for Terminal Services completely changes this situation. App-Vs application virtualization allows any application to run alongside any other - even applications that normally conflict, multiple versions of the same application, and many applications that previously could not run under Terminal Services. This eliminates the need for server silos and significantly improves server utilization. As a result, the number of servers needed is much lower, operational costs for managing the remaining servers are reduced, and the server farm ROI is increased. By eliminating the need to permanently install applications on servers, and shielding the operating system and applications from changes created when installed applications run, Microsoft App-V for Terminal Services prevents problems that hinder deployments. The need to perform lengthy regression testing is also significantly reduced. Applications that use App-V only need to be packaged once for desktop or terminal services platforms. This reduces the need for double packaging or creating two different processes and packages when providing the choice for running an application on a desktop or via a terminal server. MICROSOFT GOVERNMENT OPEN LICENSE Microsoft Government Open License is a software volume licensing program designed to reduce the costs associated with acquiring, upgrading, maintaining, and managing software by providing simple and flexible pricing over a two-year period. This volume licensing option is available to eligible small- and medium-sized government entities, and is ideal for those who need to purchase smaller quantities of licenses and who need a simple and flexible model. SOFTWARE ASSURANCE Microsofts Software Assurance gives you automatic access to new technology and provides productivity benefits, support, tools, and training to help deploy and use software efficiently. With Software Assurance, you receive access to new versions of licensed software released during the term of your agreement to deploy at your own pace. New Version Rights simplifies the procurement process and shortens the business process cycle, allowing you to reduce the costs associated with acquiring new version releases and immediately take advantage of the latest technology.
